It's Just Hallie | Daughter of Demi Lovato |

20

We covered our faces and ran in and got a booth, I got a salad, Demi got spaghetti and so did harper. "Your the only person I know who goes to an Italian restaurant and gets a salad." Harper laughs, "whatever, can we go home already? I have school tomorrow." I said agitated, "alright, I'll pay the check."

Then next day came around and I got dressed and my wrists were now a deep purple, reddish color.

{ outfit ^^}

"Don't you look cute." Demi smiled, "thanks mom. I'm gonna catch the bus!"

Before I could run off she grabbed my wrist "um, ow!" I called out, "oh-yeah sorry. I just wanted to say you don't need makeup. Your gorgeous without it." She smiled, her perfect white teeth showed and I thanked her and ran out. "Hey girls!" I smiled, "hey cutie!"

Then we were on our way to school. I got off the bus and met up with Jess and Lilly. "What are those flowers for?" I asked Jess. "They are for you, I'm really really sorry about yesterday."

I smiled and took the flowers "it's fine honestly." The bell rang "I better get to class they are announcing the nominees for queen king for spring formal dance." I smiled, before I started walking away he grabbed my arm "Hallie- about the dance." I looked at him "hm?"

"Do you want to go to the spring formal with me?"

I looked at Lilly and she smiled and gave me a thumbs up. "Yes-sure! I'll go with you." He nodded then second bell rang "I really gotta go, text me more details for Friday!"

Then I ran to class, "Lovato your late." The teacher called out. "Um- it's Hallie." I corrected the teacher and I took a seat next to Tiffany. Then the class smirked,

"Goooood morning Students and faculty! I hope everyone had a good and safe weekend..."

The principal kept talking about announcements, and came to a closing. "This Friday is the Spring Formal, and I have your nominees for queen and king."

I'm excited because Taylor and Tiffany really want to get nominated and as there friend I can give them all my support.

"The nominees for queen are..."

"Taylor Westies"

You could hear clapping and cheering down the hall in her class room.

"Tiffany Ramirez"

I smiled and started clapping and people started cheering for her. "Yay!" She smiled hugging me. Then we settled down to the hear the last person.

"And last but certainly not least, Hallie Lovato!"

What? I didn't want to be nominated I didn't even- what?!

I snapped out of thought and smiled and people started cheering and hugging me. "Congratulations Hallie and Tiffany." The teacher smiled, I could see Tiffany get kind of mad but she still congratulated me and hugged me.

Then I texted Demi "I have awesome news to tell you when I get home!"

Then she texted me back "your photos came back and they look amazing! Can't wait to hear the news!"

Today was going to be an awesome day.

I got off the bus with Jess, and we walked back to my house. "So, my foster mom is going to adopt me Jess smiled, I stopped walking "oh my gosh! That's amazing Jess!" I hugged him and he hugged me tightly back and spun me around. "My court date is in 2 months, and I want you to come."

I smiled "why me?" I asked, "its for family and close friends, and your a close friend. Hopefully one day more than a friend."

"What do you mean more than a friend? I can't become family." I chuckled, and he smirked. "I meant being my girlfriend."

I don't want to date him! Between school and gymnastics and extra circulars I would have no time to spend with him. We're only hanging out because he needs help with math. "Um, I have to think about it." He smile dropped.

"What? It's a yes or no answer. It's something you don't think about it Hallie." He gripped my wrists tighter, not this again. "Jess, your hurting me." I spoke, "Hallie. Give me a reason why. It's yes or no."

"Jess! I have so much going on, gymnastics, modeling, school, extra circulars when would we hang out?" I said trying to hold back the tears. "We would make time, I like you and you like me, so what's the problem?"

I was only letting him do this because I know this isn't him. He has a mental illness so it's not in his control. "I don't like you Jess, I mean I like you but as a friend!"

That pissed him off, he grabbed my chin and pulled me closer. "You like me, don't deny it you said yes to me for the dance."

"Get off of me Jess!" I pushed him off of me. "Don't fucking touch me Hallie." Then he did the unthinkable, he clenched his fists and pushed me down on the ground. "Ouch!" I called out as my body collided with the ground. "Jess! Your hurting me stop!" I cried as I held my arm, I didn't break it but I knew there was definitely going to bruise. "Well you hurt me Hallie!"

"I'm going home." Then he grabbed his bag and left me on the ground. I wiped my tears and stood up, it was my fault I deserved that. I walked up the long driveway and opened the front door. "Hey baby!" Demi called out. "Where's Jess?" Bomba asked. "His-his mom needed him so he couldn't come over." I choked out, "why are you crying?" Harper asked. Then Demi looked up and at me, "I fell down walking I-I hurt my arm."

"Let me see-" bomba came over and tried to touch my arm "it's fine!" I raised my voice. He looked at me concerned, "sorry-I- sorry." I sighed. "I'm just tired. I have a a lot of homework."

"That's okay baby. Why don't you go do your homework then take a nap, We can talk during dinner." Demi smiled slightly giving me a hug. "Thanks."

I grabbed my bag and walked up the stairs to my room and shut the door.
